When the Cranes Fly South: A Novel
by Lisa Ridzén
When The Cranes Fly South by Lisa Ridzen (8/1/2025)
I enjoyed reading this book and the style that the author used to convey the periods of time that pass. It is a heartfelt story of an aging man with the loss of autonomy, reliance on others for his care and grief. The story explores past regrets as well as gratitude for relationships and moments in life. The author shows complications with relationships that caring for an aging family member can bring both for the caretaker and the family member. This was an emotional story with the perspective of life and death as one ages for a family member or ourselves. The author captures the emotions of the characters' interactions.This is a book that will resonate in your heart and soul.
